cvs does it automatically if you supply your ~/.cvsrc with correct
contents... What I miss is that even with ~/.cvsrc, you still don't get
the automatic paging that 'git diff' gives by default.

Yes, cygwin is one of the last holdouts still using CVS, making it more
likely that you don't notice an incomplete ~/.cvsrc on new machines as
fast.  I'd certainly welcome a conversion to git (and tolerate a
conversion to svn); especially since I know that newlib recently enabled
a git mirror.  And there's ways of using git as your frontend to a CVS
(or svn) repository.
